Hard sheet three pushes Grade 2 students to rewrite sentences with unclear pronouns. Four multiple-choice items show examples where he, she, or it could mean two different people or things, and kids pick the clearest rewrite using a name. Five fill-in puzzles then ask second graders to replace foggy pronouns with names or nouns, building careful writing habits for stories, homework, and tests.
